String attributes called "description" are ok, and EOGenericRecord is ok with relationships called "description". However ERXGenericRecord has a method description() which returns toString() hence you can't call a relationship "description" or it tries to override the return type and gives a compile error.

Entity Modeler USED to (maybe still does) warn about this ... If you look at EOEnterpriseObject, there's:

String eoDescription() -- Returns a String that describes the receiver.

so maybe it was renamed? I think I dodged "description" for a really long time until someone said "you don't have to" a year or so ago ... probably was Chuck.

Maybe, but I still mostly try to avoid it out of remembrance of the pain of the week that I discovered that this was NOT a good name to use with Obj-C.

Doesn't it still? I NEVER use it :)

I believe it's still the case... unless that was Entity Modeler complaining. Can't recall.

Back in the old days, an attribute named "description" would cause you grief. ;-)
